My interest in social media management started when I had my on-the-job training at Pixzel Digital. Before that, I was a freelance graphic designer who worked for a remote company.
During my training, I was assigned to manage a tourism page called 'Bisita Iligan', which promotes local tourist spots and businesses within Iligan City. I am forever grateful to Pixzel for sparking my interest in this field. Seeing how successful the campaigns I made for them made me realize how big of an impact social media can have on promoting and helping businesses grow. Since then, I have been constantly seeking improvement in my graphic design and social media management skills.
Fast-forward to August 2023, when I first started working with Skywalker Digital Solutions as a digital assistant, where my tasks included lead generation and outreach. I was able to adapt to the fast-paced work environment where we had to meet deadlines for different clients’ needs. Although my tasks weren't mainly social media management, my interest in pursuing a social media management career has never dwindled. I am thankful that I was able to acquire new skills with them, such as data entry, lead generation, email outreach, and virtual assistance.
After that, I had the opportunity to manage the social media presence of a local real estate company named Bukidnon Lands Development Corporation, where I managed the page of one of their projects, Tierra Verde Homes. I helped them increase their follower base and boost website traffic through strategic content creation. Although it was quite a short project, I was able to grasp more about what social media management is.
That's when I knew I wanted to venture into social media management and share my expertise, experiences, and services with other clients, entrepreneurs, and business owners in need.
